4. What do we do?
We ask the tough questions and challenge pre-existing ideas so as to discover the best solution(s) to
any problem. We work together to ensure that we have all the tools, resources and talent at our finger
tips. We work in teams to research, to innovate and to overcome any problem that block our paths. As
an individual we may be weak; but together we are unstoppable.
What we are doing will transform the lives of our members and the wider global community as we stand
together equipped with the knowledge and tools to face the future. We expand our solution and
knowledge base in all areas of life through the Solution Portal. Our mission is to cause a sudden
gushing/spurting out of Ikigai Innovation starting right from the grass-roots. We will then help translate
and transform this spurting/gushing out of ideas and innovation into self-sustaining enterprises that
bring a great number of benefits to the world.
What are we trying to achieve?
Our main aims are to bring together and utilize available potential. To be the one place where people
can become both inspired and enlightened, to bring out the best and brightest in those who are
seeking opportunities to unleash their hidden creative powers… so that we can all benefit from this
great pool of hidden resource and talent which everyone has some of, and to set their spark of creativity
alight. Thereby, allowing people to realize that once propelled into the air, they have wings that can take
them above and beyond any obstacle that would keep them stuck. We aim to be the place where ideas
and innovations can be easily transformed into useful products, tools and resources.
Our vision is to transform as many lives as we can through both providing the tools and knowledge
necessary (Ikigai)

6. Goals: 2012-2015
2012-15 Find 500 Ideas that translate into 50 workable projects that result in 1 flagship
success.
1-2nd Year (2012-13) * Start idea gathering
Setup Organization and network (develop PowerMatrix - Database) Develop tools (A COMPLETE INNOVATION
MANAGEMENT APPLICATION/TOOL -A PRIZE BASED GAMIFICATION SYSTEM TO REVOLUTIONISE R&D,
Semantic Web 3.0)
We are expected to evolve as the third way for SMEs to synergistically combine closed and open innovation. Trust is
supposed to be the enabling parameter in balancing necessary multiple relationships with communities. “Semantic
Technologies” Web 3.0 (the “Semantic Web”) is based on the attempt to capture the meaning (semantics) of
information and to cross-link knowledge by using so called meta-data (context-data) making it possible for the
Web to "understand" and satisfy the requests of people and machines to use its content. Semantic Technologies are
the most prominent enablers for the transition from data and information to knowledge.

Nucleus Board Structure and Selection:
Nucleus should comprise of minimum of 3 and maximum of 7 members based on the
scope of activities, needs of the organization as well as the availability of volunteer
members. The board should be elected based on criteria determined after year-one
evaluation of the organizational needs.
Tenure:
Director tenure is not limited but members need to be reelected each year.
Note: We need to evaluate who would vote for the board, who would nominate and
what the criteria for nomination would be. We should also discuss whether we could
have 2 external board members (to bring us to ideal 5 members) but this is prerequisite
by year one success.
